Vista - XP print jobs on vista sit in spooler

I have an HP 1020 laserjet shared out on a vista ultimate system. I can see
the printer from an XP system (in the same workgroup), connect to it, print
to it, but the job never prints. It sits in the spooler. If I cycle the
spooler service, it prints when the service restarts.

I can print local jobs fine from the vista system (TSed into it), just not
jobs from the XP system. I've made sure that I have the latest drivers
installed on both systems.

Any ideas on how I can further narrow this down and fix it?

I suspect that the print job requires access in the XP users context and
does not have access to a resource in Vista or due to the remote context.
When you restart the spooler service, the print job is restarted in full
admin context since the token from the client is no longer valid for the job
and the system admin account has access to whatever the resource required
from the driver.

Are there any system eventlog entries on the Vista machine when the XP
machine submits the job?

Does the job come in as Guest?

Hello,
I have the very same issue!
The print job from XP somec with a user which exists on the VISTA. It is
because I first login to the vista using SMB protocol so I have an
established security context with VISTA credential. But the print document
from XP still stays in the queue until restart of Print Spooler. Also I have
added the named user with full permissions in the security tab of the printer
properties.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi,
Together with the Microsoft TechNet team from the MS Forums we found a
solution.
The full version is posted here:

In brief: there are some local policies which should be set.
And disable the "bidirectional support" at the "Ports" tab of the printer
properties.

Regards,
Anton

Hi,
After trying to work out where the local policies were to check them (still
don't know and doesn't matter to me now), I disabled the "bidirectional
support" at the "ports" tab of the printer as my first step... and hey
presto! both XP machines are now printing to the Vista printer!
Thank you
